Cuba Shuts Down U.S. Travel Visas

Cuba will no longer process visas for U.S. travel to the country, The Hill reported on Saturday.

The Cuban government announced Friday that travel will end until a new U.S. bank is found that can process its visa fees. The bank that had long handled the transactions, M&T Bank of Buffalo, decided last year to "terminate all of its embassy accounts," according to The Hill. The State Department has been involved in the search for a new bank to handle Cuba's visa fees, but no bank has yet agreed to do so.

Cuba's decision means only humanitarian travel will be permitted to the country.
